Self-discipline is defined as “The ability to make yourself to do, what you know you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like or not!” 

We know that doing the right thing isn’t always easy.  Students who have self-discipline are able to STOP AND THINK about making good choices. It is important for children to know that they have the power to make choices and that we are responsible for what we say and do. 

We look at using self-discipline with our behavior expectations. Please take a minute and review these with your child.
